Description:
Like much of Five Star Iris’s self-titled debut album, the anthemic first single “Let It All Out” is a showcase for the Atlanta-based quartet’s soulful rock melodies, sharp songwriting and searching lyrics. Winner of the prestigious United Kingdom Songwriting Contest, the lyrics comment on the everyday struggle to relate to one another, a recurring theme on the album. “My father used to say that communication makes friends and a lack of communication makes enemies,” recalls Alan Schaefer, Five Star Iris’s lead singer and guitarist. “It’s an interesting concept from a songwriting perspective because people not knowing how to express themselves has caused everything from broken hearts to wars.”
The band learned first hand about the importance of keeping the lines of communication open as it endured the ups and downs of making a record as an unsigned band. “It was frustrating at the time, but recording the album over two years turned out to be a blessing because it gave us the chance to develop our chemistry on the road,” Schaefer explains. “We’re all good friends, but touring together all over the Southeast and in Europe really bonded us musically.”
